Since ancient times, China'sMilitaryThe strength has always attracted the attention of the world. And in the core crystallization of China's fighter industry,J-20Known as the world's most powerful fifth-generation aircraft, it can be called ChinaAir ForceThe trump card of the trump card. However, in ChinaFightersIn the family, there is another oneFightersLet the United StatesAir ForceFeeling a headache, it can even be said that it is strategically surpassedJ-20And it isJ-16D electronicCombat aircraft. ThisFightersIt debuted in 2021 and is a very typical fourth-generation aircraft. Although, according to common sense, the fifth-generation aircraft should have a clear advantage in the confrontation with the fourth-generation aircraft, howeverJ-16DMore than just one from the startFighters, it's even more oneElectronic warfarePlane. The US Navy believes thatJ-16Dof combat performance even exceededU.S. militaryThe most advanced in serviceElectronic warfarePlane. ea-18g "Growler", known as the "nightmare of the US Navy". So, what exactly letsJ-16DWith such a powerfulElectronic warfareWhat about ability?
Let's start with thatJ-16DThe overall design. In order to strengthenElectronic warfaresystem,J-16DThe infrared tracking system and the 30-mm gun were eliminated and replaced with a reinforced oneElectronic warfaresystem,It has a multi-band similar to the Growler installed on the wingElectronicsSignal receiving pods for analyzing the enemyRadarfrequency and specific location, thus achieving the pairRadarjamming and aiming. In addition, the aircraft itself carries anti-radiation missiles, in pairingElectronicsThe signal receiving pod is capable of:RadarDeliver a fatal blow. By such a design,J-16DAble to have quite highElectronic warfareability, comparable to the Growler.
However, this alone is not enoughJ-16DBe at the topElectronic warfarePlane. Its real advantage lies in the high level of integration and the good twin-engine, two-seaterHeavy fighterPlatform. J-16DIt has a strong mounting capacity, plus our country is inElectronic warfareThe equipment is more advanced in terms of the level of inheritance, and its weight is relatively light. At the same time, China has a stronger power system. This makesJ-16Din electromagnetic suppression capacity and electromagnetic suppressionIn terms of power, they are far superior to the Growler. It can be said thatJ-16Dto the US NavyAegisThe system is a natural enemy. According toU.S. militarysaid that China had in the South China Sea andU.S. militaryExpandMilitaryUse against each otherJ-16DInterfere with it, causing the entire command center to be paralyzed, and can only sail with all its might, unable to resist. Therefore, the US Navy executes in AsiaMilitaryThe ability of the task is greatly reduced.
According to the estimates of the US Navy, the future of ChinaAir ForceThe combat system will be composed ofAir Police - 500J-20withJ-16DCompose. Among them,J-16DResponsible for stabbing blindU.S. militaryeyes and ears, whileAir Police - 500then playedAir ForceThe role of the eyes and ears, whileJ-20As a ** fighter, it plays the role of ChinaAir Forceof the core of air combat. Such a combination is not complicated, most of them are normalAir ForceThe great powers are able to form similar combinations. However, the main reason why China is able to occupy an advanced advantage in terms of equipment is that China has a late-mover advantage and continues to make breakthroughs in technology. Due to the late R&D and production time, China can adopt more advanced technologies and achieve more powerful results. Plus ChinaAir ForceThere is no need to update the equipment, so once it is equippedJ-16D, you can have the most advanced aircraft right away, and there is no need for constant controversy and hesitation like the United States.
In fact, this is not the first time that the United States has warned against ChinaJ-16DFightersFinish. Back in 2015, China'sJ-16DOn the first flight, the United States began to recognizeJ-16Dwill become the biggest threat to the US Navy to the strategy of ChinaAir ForceThe system is crucial.
Electronic warfareThe combat effectiveness of the aircraft was first established by the United StatesIraq Warexperienced that the country became the first willElectronicsSuppression operations are used in countries that are actually in actual combat. As a result, Iraq's sea-to-air awareness capabilities were completely deprived, and the powerful Iraqi army was presentU.S. militarywas unable to resist under the suppression, and was finally quickly defeated. Therefore, in modern warfare, unless it is a street battle, a war of attrition, or a war of law and order, who has the stronger in the first engagementElectronic warfareability, whoever will have the advantage.
Obviously, relying onHeavy fighterplatformJ-16D, compared to being a light aircraftea-18g "Growler".Electronic warfareAircraft, both in size and technology, have more advantages. Now, the United States is finally starting to pay attentionJ-16DFightersAlthough I believe that with the help of the United States' own technological reserves, a more advanced one has been developedElectronic warfareAirplanes are not difficult. However, the reality that plagues the United States is the problem of production capacity. At the moment, does the United States have the capacity to mass-produce such advancedElectronic warfareThere are still questions about the aircraft. In addition to the recession in the United States, the hindrance of the military-industrial complex is also an unavoidable threshold. Therefore, when the United States solved all the problems and began to produce a new generation of advancedElectronic warfareAirplanes, China may have developed more advancedElectronic warfarePlane.
In summary,J-16D electronicFighter aircraft as ChinaAir ForceIt has strong combat effectiveness. Its integrated design and highly advanced designElectronic warfareThe system makes it more than the American ones in serviceElectronic warfareAircraft have more advantages. However, the futureTechnologyThe competition will continue, and the United States may embark on the development of a new generation of more advanced onesElectronic warfarePlane.
